Head to a convenient Danfo bus stop on Victoria Island, such as the one near Eko Hotel Roundabout, Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, or Mobil Filling Station. Board a commercial bus (Danfo) clearly marked 'CMS' or 'Obalende'. Always confirm the fare with the conductor before settling in.
The bus will traverse the iconic Eko Bridge, connecting Victoria Island to the Lagos mainland. Be prepared for varying traffic conditions during this segment of your journey. This fare covers the bridge toll.
Alight carefully at the bustling CMS Bus Stop, a major interchange. You'll need to navigate through the crowd to find the next connection point for 'Yaba' buses, typically found under the overhead bridge or near St. Paul's Primary School.
Board a Danfo clearly displaying 'Yaba' as its destination. Reconfirm with the conductor that it's heading to Yaba Bus Stop and pay your fare for this next leg of your journey.
The bus will take you through major mainland arteries, passing through areas like Apongbon and Ebute Metta, before reaching the vibrant Yaba axis. Be ready to alight as you approach the market area.
Alight at Yaba Bus Stop. Tejuosho Market is a short distance from here. You have the option to walk (about 5-10 minutes), or take a short Keke Napep (tricycle) or Korope (shared mini-bus).
For convenience and speed, board a Keke Napep (tricycle) or Korope (mini-bus) directly to the Tejuosho Market entrance. Confirm the short fare with the driver before you start the ride.
Always carry enough small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) for Danfo fares, as conductors rarely have change for large notes.
Keep your belongings secure, especially in crowded bus stops and while boarding/alighting. A backpack worn on your front is safer.
Engage with conductors politely but firmly. If unsure of a destination, ask bystanders or other passengers for confirmation (look for friendly faces).
Yes, Tejuosho Market is generally safe for foreigners, but like any bustling market, it can be overwhelming due to crowds. It's advisable to go during off-peak hours, keep a low profile, and always be aware of your surroundings to prevent petty theft.
No, commercial buses (Danfo) operate strictly on cash payment for fares. Always carry enough small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors rarely have change for large notes. Ride-hailing apps, however, fully support card payments.
To significantly avoid Lagos' notorious traffic (go-slow), travel very early in the morning before 6 AM or later in the evening after 8 PM. Mid-day (around 11 AM - 2 PM) can also be less congested, but traffic remains largely unpredictable.
